We propose a state smoothing algorithm for hybrid systems based on Moving Horizon Estimation (MHE) by exploiting the equivalence between hybrid systems modeled in the Mixed Logic Dynamical form and piecewise affine systems. We provide sufficient conditions ...
In this paper, by exploiting the equivalence between hybrid systems modeled in the Mixed Logic Dynamical form and Piece-Wise Affine systems, we propose a state smoothing algorithm based on Moving Horizon Estimation (MHE). We provide sufficient conditions o ...
The spectrum of n = 0 Alfven modes is calculated analytically and numerically in cylindrical and toroidal geometries. It includes global Alfven eigenmodes (GAEs) and surface modes (SMs) of the fast magnetoacoustic wave. These modes are not induced by toroi ...
Alfven waves in fusion plasmas play an important role in a number of situations. First, in Alfven Wave Heating (AWH) schemes. Second, both theory and experiment have demonstrated the existence of Global Alfven Eigenmodes (GAEs). GAEs have been observed in ...
During plasma excitation by high power Alfven waves at TCA, signals at harmonics of the generator frequency are observed in the plasma scrape-off layer. In this paper, experimental investigations of the sheath effect and the excitation efficiency and dispe ...
JET was extensively modified in the 1992/93 shutdown. The new pumped divertor and many new systems were brought into operation early in 1994. Operations have progressed to 4MA plasma current and, with substantial additional heating, H-mode confinement resu ...
An explicit expression for the local power absorption density in a uniformly-magnetized slab plasma is derived from the Vlasov-Maxwell equations, taking into account density and temperature gradients. Using a transformation to Lagrangian coordinates, the k ...
